Vidalia

30-134

This European house plan features classical columns that support a magnificent arched entry porch. Inner balcony with curved desk over-looks two-story entry and family room. Second floor media center has vaulted ceiling and a large theater screen.

The Vidalia is clearly a class act. Boasting more than 4,000 square feet of living space, this grand home is designed for families that want plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining.

A striking two-story foyer is overarched at the rear by a balcony from which you can view both foyer and family room. Formal living room and dining room flank the foyer, while a splendid two-story, sunken family room is one step down, just past the two classic columns that support the balcony.

Windows fill most of the rear wall of this comfortable, bright and lofty informal living area. On one end, it connects to the kitchen. At the opposite end of the room there's a fireplace with bookshelves on one side and an entertainment center on the other. It even has a butler's pantry -- a sink with room enough beneath for a small refrigerator.

The large kitchen is expanded by a bright nook. At center is a uniquely shaped work island. Friends and family can sit at the conversation counter, chatting with the cooks while they work. Other notable features include: a large walk-in pantry, built-in phone desk with shelves, and plenty of storage space.

Luxuries abound in the Vidalia's master suite. These include a huge walk-in closet and an elegant bathroom with raised spa tub, oversized shower and twin vanities. Both secondary bedrooms also have walk-in closets and private bathrooms.

A huge bonus room over the three-car garage is outfitted as a theater with a beverage bar at the rear, but it could just as easily be put to other uses.
